Actually, if you have working disks, why not just 'dd' them to an ISO image on your drive and then use cdrecord to write them back. dd if=/dev/cdrom of=disk.iso bs=1024k This will copy an exact image of the CDROM; then just write the ISO back to CD with cdrecord as pretty normal. From what I've read so far, making bootable CD's is a challenge at best when one doesn't know quite what he is doing, like me:). On Wed, Apr 30, 2003 at 08:10:05AM -0400, Thomas D.
